18 March 2012 will be the day to look forward to – Ironman 70.3 Singapore. I’ve been thinking about doing the half –Ironman again for quite some time now, having missed out on this year’s edition. But i’ve been yearning to get my focus. I’ve been distracted for far too long now and i miss the simple life of putting all my attention and focus on training. The process is painful in most ways, but one thing is for sure – the feeling at the end of the day/race is absolutely rewarding.
I’ve had good and bad races, but they all come with a reward. There’s always something to take away from each and every race.
Work has been a real drag and it’ll be a challenge to balance work and training for the next 6 months. But it can be done. I’m guessing that my social life will take the biggest hit. I will definitely miss the time hanging out with friends but it’s something i have lived with a couple of years ago, i can do it again. Preparation for this year would be challenging for me, physically, mentally and emotionally. Physically, i’ve totally lost the game and i’m nowhere near my fittest during the 09/10 season. Mentally, i’m not confident having not clocked enough mileage during trainings and emotionally – oh boy.. there’s just been so much drama, i have to admit that this race is a big excuse to just escape from it all.
Time to start feeling good about my body again, time to feel prepared going into the race and time to cut away silly distractions that don’t do me any good in the end.
Things are really simple now – a 42km in Dec and an Ironman Tri in March. Guess that means that...Training. Starts. Now.
